Hello Unicorn,

First: A Happy New Years to everyone.

Second: I want to break down last months stats that I’ll be submitting to Theta Fleet for our first official Report to the Command Council there.

For December:

We had 12 new players join the Unicorn. Thank yall for all you do for the sim and what you’ve have accomplished.

We have 27 total mission posts posted last month with 20038 words written in total. That 2.08 posts per player and an average of 1541.38 words written per player on average. Well done everyone!

For January, we’ve begun our first Big Joint Mission Post “Mission Briefing-Prep for Departure” that’ll be our big post that will be the staff briefing and launch of Unicorn proper. We’ll work on that til we reach a good stopping point. I do also want to continue our JPs. We’ve had a lot of good JPs for December with lots of good character development.

We had a very good start to our journey on Unicorn and can’t wait to see what January will bring us.

Thank you all!

Marshal as Colonel Josiah McEntyre

Josiah stared at the ceiling. The hum of the engines at warp filled the room. He couldn't sleep, laying there staring at the one spot of his ceiling where someone missed painting or maybe the industrial feel is what Starfleet was going for when they built the Unicorn. Pipes running…

Peters carried a couple of bags as he walked along the walkway and approached a Maco standing guard at the entrance to the ship.

"State your business." The Maco held his rifle in both hands, prepared to defend the ship at all costs, even his own life.

Peters placed the…

Keelli docked the shuttle with a speed and accuracy that belied her "dumb blonde" exterior. She was the Chief Helmsman for the Unicorn, but her main job was Chief Pilot. She ran the hangars like they were her babies-in some ways, they were.
When the ATCs gave the go-ahead, she…

Launch day. After delays and delays and the raid by the Romulans, finally, the Unicorn was able to cast off and fly. It was a somber day though as her launch was marred by the drum beats of war and the rapidness of forming up a fleet to retake Coridan…
